A series of images I found on my computer labeled "Wrestling solutions."

A roof shaped ring, utilizing an incline. Probably deadly.

A full sized ring inside of a double sized ring. Why not? What do you have to lose?

A ring with vertical ring ropes, attached to an unsecured light fixture. An OSHA violation for sure.

A ring with 9 turnbuckles, instead of the customary 3. This one is fine, no one would have a problem with this one except a whiner.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

I’m 5’8”, enjoy them sometimes and I’m from the midlands, so it’s very conceptually satisfying that we’re friends and neither more nor less

Skol from the Sofa, which was actually from the stadium. Not discussed: the two free chicken burgers I managed to get. It was a good day and not even pre-winning-drive Carson Wentz could ruin it.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
